In Wheel Time

Filling the void created by the welcomed departure of the Aveo, the all-new Sonic puts Chevrolet at or near the top of goodness in the highly competitive subcompact war.

The Sonic is offered in two formats, the sedan or 4-door hatch with designated trim levels LS, LT and the loaded LTZ. As with most other carmakers, the mid and upper trims simply add more packaged features to the base LS.

Chevy says the interior is “inspired” by motorcycles. We think it has a motorcycle-like instrument cluster, but not sure if we can categorize the entire interior under the “motorcycle’ heading. The rest of the dash comes in your choice of two-toned colors, dark titanium or brick. We had the latter, and it looked like a million dollars. Way to go Chevy!
